Learning Support Volunteer
Volunteer with halow!
halow supports young adults aged 16+ with a learning disability to live independent lives and become more involved in their local community. We rely on our team of volunteers who build relationships with the young people we support to engage them in a wide range of activities. We treat our volunteers with the utmost respect as they are valued members of our team and play a critical role to our success and future.
Our learning support volunteers assist with halow's educational programme (Building Futures) that run during the weekday during term times. You could be helping a young person to sail a riverboat one day to helping them to design a computer game another day. We are ideally looking for volunteers who can commit to a certain day each week for this programme.
Although our offices are based in Guildford, we welcome volunteers from various places, as opportunities for their support arise all over Surrey. They are not expected to come to us with any previous experience; all we ask for is commitment and a willingness to work with our young people.
